Actually from what I can see that running play is not very creative or inventive. We have run variations of it for years. Plus while he calls it a power blocking scheme, his very description of not blocking specific defenders but those that appear in front of them as the play develops is the very definition of zone blocking which is what we have done for years. Not trying to put a damper on folks enthusiasm and maybe I am the clueless one but this seems to be a very standard play which we have run for years with Fiammetta and Hoover under Fox.

The article refers to it as the "traditional 'Power O' in a two tight-end, fullback set". I don't think the author is claiming that it is creative or inventive.

So why make a big deal about it or write an article about a play in every team's playbook or one we have been running for years? My comments were also directed to people's statements that this was something that Davidson would not or did not run and clearly he did.

Well, what else is there to write about? This is off season fodder.

It's not a big deal.

new madden, uniforms, steve smith dancing, otah's fat knees, peoples opinions on players rankings, arriving jerseys, new safeties, i could go on. As a basic a play as it is, it is still pretty complex and somewhat educational. I'll take this any day over the other garbage that gets read on here.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
